Antonio Valencia may not have been an intentional starter but he certainly contributed with six interceptions and three tackles in the 1-0 loss to Manchester City.

Named a Joel Ward All-Star by the Rotoworld.com Monday Morning Manager for Week 2 for his combination of blocked shots (1), tackles won (6) and passes intercepted (3) this is the sort of performance that can be repeated because it wasn't driven by goals, assists or clean sheets which are harder to predict.
